Minority shareholders question Bharti Telecom's plan to cut capital

The shareholders' counsel, in a submission before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), on Tuesday argued that the price offered by Bharti Telecom to shareholders for buying back their shares at ₹196 per equity share was significantly lower than the prevailing market rate. The counsel said five months before the capital reduction scheme, Bharti Telecom had issued shares at ₹310 to SingTel Group.
